Are you a voice talent? Want to participate in an online drama? Sign up for a part in a podcast recreation of parts of the Dover trial. It should be fun, if you're into that kind of thing.
I'm not volunteering, I'm afraid. I can't act, and I'm also afraid that the closest match to my voice would be Michael Behe, and I'd die of mortification.

Curse you, Orac. He had to pass along a link to a podcast interview with William Dembski. It was extremely aggravating—Dembski is dishonest bloviator of the first water.
He blames the loss in Dover on everyone else: it was the Dover school board's fault because they had religious motives (and…
Right now, I'm reading a gem of a book called Mortification, writers' stories of their public shame. It essentially has 70 or so mini-pieces from a wide variety of writers, at various stages of their careers. These pieces share humiliating anecdotes as it relates to the life of a writer: Here, the…
I'm going to make a series of posts breaking down the testimony of Michael Behe in the Dover trial. The transcript for the direct examination and the first part of the cross examination are available now. Behe is really the only science witness the defense has in this case, with Dembski having been…
You may have noticed that I haven't commented much on Michael Behe's recent book, The Edge of Evolution, other than to bemoan its presence in the Evolution section of the University of Chicago Barnes & Noble. I have, however, read with some amusement some of the reviews. The most recent is one…
That's a great idea!
I doubt any of the Dover characters were squeaky-voiced Brit women, though.
MissPrism:
Not a problem. This is community theater. If William Shatner was allowed to play Richard III, surely you can play a Pennsylvanian.
You could be Tammy Kitzmiller, Aralene Callahan, Julie Smith, Christy Rehm, Beth Eveland, Carol Brown, Barbara Forrest, Jennifer Miller, Bertha Spahr, Cynthia Sneath, Heidi Bernhard-Bubb (journalist), Heather Geesey, Jane Cleaver, Sheila Harkins, Jane Penny (lawyer), one of the court reporters, the court deputy, or the law clerk (one line; no sex specified).
Sounds like fun. I've done a little voice acting, so I might try out for this.
Hello, I got Ken Miller. I'm Catholic, I accept evolution, and I have Cool Edit Pro. That's gonna be some work reading for 2 days, but I'll give it a shot. If someone else wants Ken Miller, I'll do Robert Pennock too.

So I suppose we shouldn't mention that you look like him a bit too?
Aaaargh! I die.
You really ought to see if Wil Wheaton (http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2007/01/the_obligatory_.html) is interested. He's done quite a bit of voice acting and this is a good cause.
I've done a great deal of acting, so I could manage this. My current major (split with graduate work in biology--I know, I'm crazy) is vocal performance, so maybe I should just set it as Dover: The Opera, instead. *grin*
I even have an Equity card.
Don't suppose there were any Scots involved? Nope? Damn :-)
Paul A:
Do you think you could tone down the Scottish accent to where even Americans can understand it (I estimate that to be about 5 Montgomery Scotts = 0.2 Billy Connollys = 0.01 Trainspottings) ? If so, you're welcome to join our merry band.
